Slate roofs are one of the most beautiful roofing materials available today for your home. Slate has actually been used on homes and buildings for centuries because of its elegance and functionality. Slate has an incredible, authentic look to it, and gives homeowners plenty of options to choose from with different grades of slate and colors. You can immediately tell when a home has slate because of its natural look – and is typically found on elegant homes.
Slate is not the most inexpensive roofing material available, but when a new slate roof is installed properly, with proper underlayment and flashing, and a good quality slate tile is used, a slate roof can last over 100 years!

Greenville Slate Roof Installation & Replacement

A slate roof is not the best fit for every home. A good roofing contractor will serve as a consultant for your roofing project to give you an honest assessment and opinion on whether a roofing material will blend with your home’s structure and character.
Slate roof shingles are considerably heavier than asphalt, and thus can’t be built on every home. A technician will have to inspect your home and its structure to see if it could support a composite or traditional slate roof. This is more important on a re-roof or slate roof replacement. If it is a new home construction, and you are looking to have a slate tile roof installation, a tech can offer up ideas how to build your roof from the start to support slate.
If your roof is not a candidate for traditional slate roofing, then composite slate roofing may be an alternative option. While these materials are less heavy than natural slate, they are less fragile and still offer tremendous wind uplifting ratings. Whether it’s composite or traditional, you want an experienced slate tile roofing crew to ensure that everything is sealed and adhered properly so that your slate roof will not leak in the future.
Eventually, a slate roof will need to be replaced. If 30-percent of your slate roof needs to be repaired, it may be a better idea to have the entire slate roof replaced.

What are signs for potential slate roof replacement?

These are just a few signs that you may need to consider a full slate roof replacement:

Missing, Loose, Broken, or Cracked Slates

Delaminating

Flaking

Powdering on the underside

Replacing a roof is a labor intensive project and depending upon the type, size and complexity of the roof it could take one day or a few days or more to complete. It also depends upon weather conditions. Bad weather always creates delays and hinders completion of the project.

Can you install roof shingles in winter?

Asphalt shingles can be installed properly in winter (late fall and winter) but only if some additional costly measures are taken. A specialized adhesive is needed to be manually applied to each shingle if the temperature is below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

What is the minimum roof pitch for asphalt shingles?

The manufacturers say a 4/12 pitch is the minimum but the absolute minimum is 2/12. Pitch is measure in inches in vertical rise over one foot of horizontal run. So a 4/12 pitch roof rises 4 inches vertically for every 12 inches of horizontal run.

How long do asphalt shingles last?

Asphalt shingles can last up to 30 years. Wood shingles and shakes have a target lifetime of 30 years, but they can last much longer under moderate weather conditions.

What roof lasts the longest?

Material lifespan:

Wood Shake

14-20 years

Asphalt Shingle

10-30 years (20 is the norm)

Metal/Steel

50+ years

Slate

50+ years

Tile/Concrete

50+ years

Foam

25+ years

Built-Up (BUR)

25-30 years

Single-Ply

30+ years

So the metal, steel, tile, concrete and slate roofs last the longest. Asphalt, built-ups and single ply are the next longest lasting roofing material.

Are metal roofs noisy?

This may surprise you but metal roofs, when installed with solid sheathing, are actually quieter than asphalt roofs. These metal roofs, when installed properly, can actually silence the noise from rain, hail and other bad weather better than those other roofing materials.

Do metal roofs attract lightening?

No. Metal roofs do not attract lightening and are not struck any more often than any other roofing materials. People’s concern about metal roofs being hit by lightning strikes comes from the fact that metal can be an electrical conductor.

Does my roof have to be replaced or can it be repaired?

The common thought is that a leaking roof has to be replaced, but this is not necessarily the solution unless it is very old. Those missing, cracked, broken, or curling shingles are able to be repaired and replaced to stop a leak without replacing the whole roof, while older roofs or roofs with many leaks or other issues should be replaced.

What is the cost to repair my roof?

Repair costs vary and depend upon the pitch of the roof, the kind of shingles used, the condition of it, and how many different layers of shingles are on the roof. The only way to know what the price is to have someone come out to your house and provide you with a free quote.
